Dear Parents and Carers,
Our Year 12 students commenced their Trials and Mocks on Monday for both the HSC and IB. The students appear to be in good spirits and were relived to make a start on the examinations.
In yesterday’s assembly, we heard some reflections from Dr Johnstone on her first few weeks at the school and were entertained by Tane Firth and Kevin Chu. Tane spoke about Write a Book in A Day, this will happen on Tuesday 16th September (Week 9A) and is open to Year 7 to Year 12 students. It would be wonderful to see all year groups represented in this writing project.
Kevin introduced the House Return and Earn Competition. He spoke about sustainability and reinforced the need for us to recycle our clear plastic bottles. Kevin was extremely entertaining as well as having a very important message.
Mr Harrison presented the Head’s List for Academic Engagement and so many students with an outstanding effort record were acknowledged for a Semester 1 report.
I commended Max Scales, who has been invited to Government House to meet Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC KC, the Governor of NSW to receive a commendable service award for all his incredible volunteer work throughout the school and the community. Well done, Max!
This weekend coming sees the final round of Winter Sport with most teams playing Waverley or St Pius. We hope this will be a slightly dryer Saturday than last week. Our Senior School Winter Sport presentation evening is next Friday 15th August, and all students and parents are welcome.
Next week, examinations continue for Year 12, and we wish them well.
Have a great week.
Best wishes,
Bob Meakin
